When taking a look at Butler, my first thoughts about him were that he looked like an unrefined Jordy Nelson.

His Route Running, Hands, and Consistency are below that of Nelson. He is also slightly slower off the line, but their physical traits are very similar. I can understand why Will McClay would take a shot on the player. If Derrek Dooley can harness his potential, the Butler acquisition could be significant.

As shown above, Street has slightly above-average ability as a runner. Although his speed does not make him any more than a possession receiver at the NFL level, his Route Running has improved slightly from his college days, but still needs some work.

His dropped pass – turned Tony Romo Interception – on Sunday Night is evidence that he still needs to become more physical. He has added some muscle to his frame, but he has to come through in those situations and show toughness.

All reports speak of him as a hard worker, which definitely works in his favor.

If both are able to produce, I could see a scenario where both remain on the roster once Dez Bryant returns. For the sake of the Cowboys, let’s hope they both contribute and are consistent once the ball comes their way.
